This is the collection of shorts we're doing for dinner theatre - I found them for the most part highly amusing, particularly Time Flies, Soap Opera, Degas C'est Moi, and Bolero. This was an interesting group of widely varied plays, as I'm come to expect from Ives. A few, however, left me unmoved and unaffected whatsoever, though I must say this probably equals his previous collection, All in the Timing.
